In this paper we study on various properties of triangle's escribed circle and tetrahedron's escribed sphere. In order to accomplish our study we extract some base problems related with investigating these properties. Using the base problems we are able to prove various properties of triangle's escribed circle, and to systemize these properties. And we succeed in drawing an analogy related with tetrahedron's escribed sphere.

In this paper we study on concept analogy of altitude and escribed circle of triangle. We start from following theorems related with sides of triangle: existence of triangle, Pythagoras theorem, cosine theorem, Heron formula. Using concept analogy of sides-altitudes, altitudes-escribed circle's radii we discover some properties of altitude and escribed circle's radii and prove these properties.

In this paper we solve various triangle construction problems related with radius of escribed circle using algebraic method. We describe essentials and meaning of algebraic method solving construction problems. And we search relation between triangle construction problems, draw out 3 base problems, and make hierarchy of solved triangle construction problems. These construction problems will be used for creative mathematical investigation in gifted education.
